Hi,

I want move the folder having articles to a different parent folder. For example, my articles are present in different folders,v1, v2… etc I want to move the folder v1 to 2016 and v2 to 2017.

I know that we can move articles by taking them offline and move to different folder. But I have 100s of articles in the folders. So, is there any way to do that?

Thanks,  
RK

You should use a groovy updater. You can bypass the workflow with this. Remember to also update your site configuration. It can also be done via the console. No workflow there.

You can use the Folder Context Menus forge plugin [1].
